Ariadna

Mythical, mundane, eternal: a flamenco Ariadne. Rafaela Carrasco, “bailaora” and choreographer, brings to life the best-known of female myths. Caught between everyday life and the world of dreams, reality and myth, intimacy and society, the dance unwinds following the structure of the great Greek tragedies, delving into the ambiguities of the human soul, where the poetry of flamenco underlies a story that connects us with our sweetest memories and innermost fears: first love, the thirst for freedom, the instinct towards risk, our intimate dance between the greatest eagerness and the deepest abyss.

An exceptional figure of the international dance scene, the hallmark of Rafaela Carrasco’s career is a tireless quest to modernise flamenco, without denying her roots. Once again, the four dancers, and an equal number of musicians on stage with her, will give shape to a unique and unmistakable warm, elaborate and conceptual dance style.
